Abstract: Objective To investigate the distribution of dental anxiety (DA) among college students in Fuzhou City and reveal the correlation between DA and eysenck personality. Methods A survey with the Modified Corah's Dental Anxiety Scale and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was conducted among 1,200 college students. Data collected were analyzed with software SPSS 17.0. Results The prevalence rate of DA was 55.7%. DA was negatively correlated to extroversion (r=-0.458) and psyehoticism (r=-0.380), and positively correlated to neuroticism (r=0.476). Students with DA had significantly higher scores of neuroticism and lower scores of extroversion and psyehoticism than students without DA (P<0.05). Conclusion Dental anxiety is correlated to eysenck personality. People who have higher score of neuroticism, and lower scores of extroversion and psyehoticism are more likely to suffer from dental anxiety. The trends of eysenck personality in people with DA are: low psyehoticism, introversion and unstable neuroticism.

Key words: Correlation, Dental anxiety, Eysenck personality
